<i>- Unbelievable.</i>
<i>- Unbelievable.</i>

3
00:01:29,525 --> 00:01:32,060
That is a subpoena for a reporter
to appear before a grand jury.

4
00:01:32,062 --> 00:01:34,328
If they had grand juries in East Germany
and East Germany still existed,

5
00:01:34,363 --> 00:01:35,730
then that's where
we'd be right now.

6
00:01:35,781 --> 00:01:37,281
Put it away, Rebecca.

7
00:01:37,316 --> 00:01:39,400
And nobody says a word about
this to anyone tonight.

8
00:01:39,402 --> 00:01:42,286
<i>- What happens now?</i>
- Monday morning, he'll appear before a grand jury.

9
00:01:42,321 --> 00:01:44,872
He'll be asked to name
his source and he'll say...

10
00:01:44,907 --> 00:01:46,908
- No problem.
- He'll refuse.

11
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,743
Tuesday morning,
the prosecutor...

12
00:01:48,745 --> 00:01:50,411
Who wants Will's head
hung in his den.

13
00:01:50,413 --> 00:01:53,664
...will go to a judge to get an order
for Will to answer the question.

14
00:01:53,715 --> 00:01:55,466
Wednesday morning,
armed with the order,

15
00:01:55,501 --> 00:01:58,386
the prosecutor will ask him
again and he'll refuse again.

16
00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:01,172
Thursday morning,
we appear before the same judge,

17
00:02:01,256 --> 00:02:03,007
who the prosecutor will
inform that Will has refused

18
00:02:03,058 --> 00:02:04,642
to comply with
a court order and then...

19
00:02:04,676 --> 00:02:07,562
- Everybody goes home.
- Because you're too big to jail?

20
00:02:07,596 --> 00:02:09,931
- That's right.
- Will, you've been wrong about everything.

21
00:02:09,982 --> 00:02:12,400
- Every step of the way.
- Do you really think this administration is going

22
00:02:12,434 --> 00:02:14,268
- to lock up a reporter...
- I didn't think they'd raid a newsroom and that happened.

23
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:16,320
...who exposed a disinformation
campaign that resulted...

24
00:02:16,355 --> 00:02:18,823
I didn't think Neal would have to flee extradition,
and Neal's in Venezuela.

25
00:02:18,857 --> 00:02:20,942
And I didn't think they'd have
the sack to subpoena you,

26
00:02:20,944 --> 00:02:24,112
but you've just been served
by a kid in a rented tuxedo.

27
00:02:24,114 --> 00:02:25,830
And the reason the kid
was wearing a tuxedo

28
00:02:25,864 --> 00:02:27,748
was because they don't
want to make any noise.

29
00:02:29,251 --> 00:02:31,752
Or maybe they sent out
a press release.

30
00:02:31,787 --> 00:02:33,871
No shit.

31
00:02:33,922 --> 00:02:36,124
- You know what this is gonna be?
- Yeah.

32
00:02:36,175 --> 00:02:37,792
"Will McAvoy,
hypocrite in a monkey suit."

33
00:02:37,794 --> 00:02:40,011
It's been posted on Carnivore,
but it's been picked up by everybody.

34
00:02:40,045 --> 00:02:41,712
Carnivore?
It was posted on Carnivore?

35
00:02:41,763 --> 00:02:43,014
Also,
what the hell is Carnivore?

36
00:02:43,048 --> 00:02:45,850
It's a new website that
just got its first scoop.

37
00:02:45,884 --> 00:02:49,604
"ACN won't be attending the Saturnalia
of incestuous ingratiation..."

38
00:02:49,638 --> 00:02:51,722
- I remember that.
- "That does little to instill confidence

39
00:02:51,773 --> 00:02:55,143
in the public that the press isn't
ensorcelled by the powerful."

40
00:02:55,194 --> 00:02:57,862
- I have to go find someone. Don.
- Hmm?

41
00:02:57,896 --> 00:02:59,397
Lead the team
on the Kundu story

42
00:02:59,448 --> 00:03:01,482
which has to be on the air
by Wednesday night.

43
00:03:01,533 --> 00:03:03,534
That's in four... Why does it have to
be on the air by Wednesday night?

44
00:03:03,569 --> 00:03:05,319
Because it does.

45
00:03:05,321 --> 00:03:08,039
- You and I need to talk.
- Yeah. Not here.

46
00:03:11,494 --> 00:03:13,578
Will,
I'm Mimi Tassler with BuzzFeed.

47
00:03:13,629 --> 00:03:15,463
- Nice to meet you.
- Any comment on the story in Carnivore?

48
00:03:15,497 --> 00:03:16,964
I was wrong about
the Correspondents' Dinner.

49
00:03:16,999 --> 00:03:19,333
I forgot what a great
time I always have.

50
00:03:19,384 --> 00:03:21,169
Will,
I'm Zachary Webber with Politico.

51
00:03:21,220 --> 00:03:22,837
Do you want to comment
on the story?

52
00:03:22,839 --> 00:03:24,589
Sure.
I probably need to read it first.

53
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:26,507
- I'm going back to the hotel.
- You can't.

54
00:03:26,558 --> 00:03:28,342
- No, I can't stay here.
- Think for a second.

55
00:03:28,393 --> 00:03:30,094
- What's the reason we came here in...
- Pruit.

56
00:03:30,145 --> 00:03:31,679
We have to sit with Pruit.

57
00:03:31,681 --> 00:03:34,148
I've had a minute with him
and so far it's going badly.

58
00:03:34,183 --> 00:03:35,816
You don't think he's going
to buy the network?

59
00:03:35,851 --> 00:03:38,269
No, I think he is.

60
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,022
- I've never heard of Carnivore.
- It's new.

61
00:03:41,024 --> 00:03:42,523
Why do they have
names like that?

62
00:03:42,525 --> 00:03:45,026
Carnivore, Vulture,
Beast, Gawker.

63
00:03:45,077 --> 00:03:46,861
I don't know.

64
00:03:46,912 --> 00:03:49,447
And why do gossip columnists always
sound like gossip columnists?

65
00:03:49,498 --> 00:03:52,867
Finke, Weasel, Snitch, Frump.

66
00:03:52,918 --> 00:03:54,535
I'm not familiar

67
00:03:54,586 --> 00:03:56,871
with Snitch, Weasel, and Frump.
What do you read?

68
00:03:56,922 --> 00:03:58,623
Well,
I read Jonathan Weasel on a regular basis

69
00:03:58,674 --> 00:04:00,458
before clicking over
to AngrySpiders.com.

70
00:04:00,509 --> 00:04:03,211
- Anyway, my answer to your question...
- Hey!

71
00:04:03,213 --> 00:04:05,062
You'll tell me later.

72
00:04:05,097 --> 00:04:07,548
- We were thinking about calling it a night.
- It's early.

73
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:10,184
Don and I were just given
a new deadline on a story.

74
00:04:10,219 --> 00:04:12,186
- What's the deadline?
- Wednesday night.

75
00:04:12,221 --> 00:04:14,472
- Gonna rent a car and drive back to New York tonight.
<i>- I'll go with you.</i>

76
00:04:14,523 --> 00:04:16,941
Maggie and I were just
discussing an ethical dilemma.

77
00:04:16,975 --> 00:04:19,227
She has a friend
who's dating a woman

78
00:04:19,229 --> 00:04:21,729
who just started writing for
a website called Carnivore.

79
00:04:21,780 --> 00:04:23,898
- We should go.
- I just want to hear what they think.

80
00:04:23,949 --> 00:04:26,901
Maggie's friend thinks that
websites like this are toxic

81
00:04:26,903 --> 00:04:28,903
<i>and are poisoning our national
conversation and culture,</i>

82
00:04:28,954 --> 00:04:30,488
<i>but he likes the girl.</i>

83
00:04:30,539 --> 00:04:33,908
So my question is,
would he date a drug dealer?

84
00:04:37,329 --> 00:04:40,081
How would you like
to handle this?

85
00:04:40,083 --> 00:04:41,666
- Wait.
- Yeah.

86
00:04:41,717 --> 00:04:43,584
- <i>She works for Carnivore.</i>
<i>- Of course she works for Carnivore.</i>

87
00:04:43,586 --> 00:04:46,087
I just said you'll tell me
later as I waved them over.

88
00:04:46,138 --> 00:04:48,139
How could you not
pick up on that cue?

89
00:04:48,173 --> 00:04:50,591
- I've never been good at that.
- You're terrible at that.

90
00:04:50,593 --> 00:04:54,645
Yeah, so we're gonna go get that
car and pick you up at the hotel.

91
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,847
Cool. I...

92
00:04:58,567 --> 00:05:00,735
- Listen.
- Not yet.

93
00:05:05,073 --> 00:05:07,658
- Drug dealer?
- He said that. I didn't say that.

94
00:05:07,693 --> 00:05:09,110
You're talking
about this with Maggie?

95
00:05:09,161 --> 00:05:11,028
- It came up at work.
- What came up?

96
00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:13,197
It just...

97
00:05:13,248 --> 00:05:14,615
Your new job.

98
00:05:14,617 --> 00:05:16,534
Your disapproval of me
came up at work?

99
00:05:16,585 --> 00:05:18,369
The page view incentives
in your contract.

100
00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:20,288
They're bonuses,
you judgmental prick.

101
00:05:20,290 --> 00:05:21,789
And why don't you
believe in me?

102
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:23,708
Why do you assume that as soon
as I take a job like this,

103
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:25,960
- I'm gonna be an asshole?
- I don't think that you're...

104
00:05:25,962 --> 00:05:28,546
Yes, you do.
Why?

105
00:05:30,549 --> 00:05:32,350
How did Carnivore
get that story about Will?

106
00:05:32,384 --> 00:05:34,518
- Did you see my byline on it?
- No.

107
00:05:34,553 --> 00:05:37,805
No. 2,000 reporters and he thought
he was going to get away with it?

108
00:05:37,807 --> 00:05:39,440
He didn't knock over a bank.

109
00:05:39,474 --> 00:05:42,360
He sang an aria about how messed
up the Correspondents' Dinner was,

110
00:05:42,394 --> 00:05:44,312
said ACN wasn't going
and then showed up.

111
00:05:44,314 --> 00:05:47,448
You weren't aware of the aria
until I told you about it.

112
00:05:47,482 --> 00:05:50,484
That story was waiting and ready to
go and I'm the one who leaked it.

113
00:05:50,486 --> 00:05:51,819
It wasn't going to be a secret.

114
00:05:51,821 --> 00:05:53,988
You had nothing to do with it?

115
00:05:57,075 --> 00:05:58,876
I told them what to look for.

116
00:06:00,412 --> 00:06:03,164
- Yeah.
- If I hadn't, I would be betraying my job,

117
00:06:03,166 --> 00:06:04,665
and you know that.

118
00:06:04,716 --> 00:06:07,752
You know that.
It's horrible that I got it from you, but...

119
00:06:07,803 --> 00:06:11,005
Listen, the new HR guy at AWM,
Wyatt Earp...

120
00:06:11,056 --> 00:06:13,090
- Not his name.
- Wyatt Geary.

121
00:06:13,141 --> 00:06:15,976
He's onto us, me and Sloan,
and he wants me bad.

122
00:06:16,011 --> 00:06:18,729
He's gonna come asking questions,
and when he does, you say...

123
00:06:18,764 --> 00:06:20,598
Don and Sloan
are just colleagues.

124
00:06:20,649 --> 00:06:22,600
Should you guys be standing
next to each other?

125
00:06:22,651 --> 00:06:24,101
Yeah,
what are you doing standing next to me?

126
00:06:24,152 --> 00:06:25,936
I really don't know.

127
00:06:25,987 --> 00:06:28,356
Scatter.

128
00:06:33,445 --> 00:06:35,946
I'm sorry.

129
00:06:35,997 --> 00:06:38,499
I'm sorry, too.

130
00:06:38,533 --> 00:06:41,252
- I get it.
- Do you?

131
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:47,958
- Where have you been?
- Looking for someone.

132
00:06:48,009 --> 00:06:49,677
We're supposed
to be talking to Pruit.

133
00:06:49,711 --> 00:06:52,380
Listen, a little while ago...

134
00:06:53,298 --> 00:06:54,849
- Nothing.
- You sure?

135
00:06:54,883 --> 00:06:56,851
Yeah.
Let's talk to Pruit.

136
00:07:07,696 --> 00:07:09,563
Lucas.

137
00:07:09,565 --> 00:07:12,566
Books are like the new art,
don't you think?

138
00:07:12,617 --> 00:07:15,569
Yes. No.
I have no idea what you mean.

139
00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:17,405
We don't need them anymore,
but they look nice.

140
00:07:17,407 --> 00:07:19,657
- We don't need books?
- Not on paper.

141
00:07:19,708 --> 00:07:22,960
I'll send you a Kindle, Grandpa Joe.
You'll like it.

142
00:07:22,994 --> 00:07:25,379
- I'm Will McAvoy.
- MacKenzie McHale.

143
00:07:25,414 --> 00:07:27,331
If you say you're not
gonna come to a party

144
00:07:27,382 --> 00:07:29,633
and you say it loud
to a million people,

145
00:07:29,668 --> 00:07:32,586
you can't show up to the party.

146
00:07:32,671 --> 00:07:35,639
He came to talk to you because you said
you wanted to meet him at the party.

147
00:07:35,674 --> 00:07:38,476
Why did you want
to meet him at the party?

148
00:07:38,510 --> 00:07:40,761
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- Take it easy.

149
00:07:40,763 --> 00:07:43,481
<i>I won't take it easy.
The position you put him in,</i>

150
00:07:43,515 --> 00:07:44,932
all of us, for a laugh?

151
00:07:44,983 --> 00:07:47,735
It was not for a laugh.
Don't be a child.

152
00:07:47,769 --> 00:07:49,737
It was an exercise of power.

153
00:07:49,771 --> 00:07:51,772
You shoved the Lansings
around for years

154
00:07:51,823 --> 00:07:54,775
and I wanted to let you know right off the
bat that I'm not impressed by ratings.

155
00:07:54,777 --> 00:07:58,662
Second, I want you to know that
I'm not in this for the trophy.

156
00:07:58,697 --> 00:08:01,031
I'm in it for the ratings.
I'm just kidding.

157
00:08:01,082 --> 00:08:03,451
But really,
second place does nothing for me.

158
00:08:03,502 --> 00:08:05,669
Good, 'cause as of last week,
we're in fourth.

159
00:08:05,704 --> 00:08:07,788
I don't know how you
managed to swing that.

160
00:08:07,790 --> 00:08:09,790
I was very proud
of our Boston coverage.

161
00:08:09,792 --> 00:08:12,626
Proud is generally what people
pretend they are when they've lost.

162
00:08:12,628 --> 00:08:14,128
Cryptic is generally
what people are

163
00:08:14,130 --> 00:08:17,047
when they're trying to pretend
they possess supernatural powers.

164
00:08:17,098 --> 00:08:19,350
Okay,
we've gotten off to a rough start.

165
00:08:19,384 --> 00:08:22,136
Lucas, we're naturally curious
about your plans for the network.

166
00:08:22,187 --> 00:08:24,472
What if I told you you could
be the number one news network

167
00:08:24,523 --> 00:08:26,056
and change the world
at the same time?

168
00:08:26,107 --> 00:08:27,975
Change it into what?

169
00:08:27,977 --> 00:08:30,644
A place where people say snappy,
sardonic things like that.

170
00:08:30,646 --> 00:08:33,647
Hey, we really have to do better at
talking to each other right now.

171
00:08:33,698 --> 00:08:35,483
- Who are you looking for?
- Me?

172
00:08:35,534 --> 00:08:37,284
<i>You've glanced around
a couple of times.</i>

173
00:08:37,319 --> 00:08:39,620
- Nothing, I'm here.
- Is that accent real?

174
00:08:39,654 --> 00:08:40,955
Can we please cut the shit?

175
00:08:40,989 --> 00:08:42,740
<i>I'm gonna infuse ACN
with tens of millions</i>

176
00:08:42,791 --> 00:08:44,792
of new dollars in your budget.
How does that sound?

177
00:08:44,826 --> 00:08:46,994
I'm gonna get 18 to
25-year-olds to watch the news

178
00:08:47,045 --> 00:08:49,747
so it can support itself and
so it doesn't die when you do.

179
00:08:49,798 --> 00:08:51,499
The news gathering
and newscasts

180
00:08:51,550 --> 00:08:53,334
will have tentacles in every
reach of the Internet.

181
00:08:53,385 --> 00:08:56,470
Interactives, podcasts, live streams,
Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter.

182
00:08:56,505 --> 00:08:57,888
We'll make our audience
reporters in the field

183
00:08:57,923 --> 00:09:00,508
through Instagram and Vine, Snapchat and blogs.
You still with me?

184
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,142
Our users become the audience

185
00:09:02,177 --> 00:09:04,144
and our audience
becomes contributors.

186
00:09:04,179 --> 00:09:05,479
That's my plan.

187
00:09:05,514 --> 00:09:08,516
Needless to say,
I'm impressed by your indifference

188
00:09:08,518 --> 00:09:10,935
to talent, experience,
and credentials.

189
00:09:10,986 --> 00:09:14,021
And I assume the absence of the words truth,
trust,

190
00:09:14,072 --> 00:09:18,192
and professionalism in your mission
statement was an oversight.

191
00:09:18,243 --> 00:09:21,695
<i>Your contempt for the second-rate
seems to be a contradiction, too,</i>

192
00:09:21,697 --> 00:09:24,031
since you believe
the best reporting

193
00:09:24,033 --> 00:09:26,033
is done by anyone with a phone

194
00:09:26,035 --> 00:09:28,285
and the time it takes to write
"epic fail."

195
00:09:28,336 --> 00:09:31,071
<i>And as an old guy,
I've got a lot more respect</i>

196
00:09:31,106 --> 00:09:33,374
for 18 to 25-year-olds
than you do

197
00:09:33,425 --> 00:09:36,427
'cause I don't believe
their heads will explode

198
00:09:36,461 --> 00:09:39,263
if you stop patronizing them
for an hour a night

199
00:09:39,297 --> 00:09:41,682
and tell them what the fuck's
going on in their lives

200
00:09:41,716 --> 00:09:44,385
and maybe even in the lives
of other people.

201
00:09:44,387 --> 00:09:47,221
The air up on that pedestal
must be pretty thin,

202
00:09:47,223 --> 00:09:48,889
'cause you are delusional, sir.

203
00:09:48,891 --> 00:09:52,560
If I am,
I plan on staying that way.

204
00:09:52,562 --> 00:09:54,728
And my network's staying, too.

205
00:09:54,730 --> 00:09:57,314
We've got a problem now,
you and me.

206
00:09:57,365 --> 00:09:59,400
Have a good evening.

207
00:10:11,313 --> 00:10:13,581
You knew that the
documents were stolen by the source?

208
00:10:13,583 --> 00:10:15,666
- Yes, sir.
- You knew the documents were classified?

209
00:10:15,717 --> 00:10:18,586
- Yes, sir.
- Did Mr. Sampat tell you anything about the source?

210
00:10:18,637 --> 00:10:21,055
- Yes, sir.
- Did Mr. Sampat tell you his name?

211
00:10:21,089 --> 00:10:23,090
- Yes, sir.
- Will you tell us the name of your source?

212
00:10:23,092 --> 00:10:26,393
- No, sir.
- Let me phrase that differently.

213
00:10:26,428 --> 00:10:28,495
Would you tell the grand jury
the name of the person

214
00:10:28,530 --> 00:10:31,432
you know to have stolen
classified government documents

215
00:10:31,434 --> 00:10:33,734
<i>containing secrets,
which if made public,</i>

216
00:10:33,768 --> 00:10:36,520
<i>could calamitously threaten
our national security?</i>

217
00:10:36,571 --> 00:10:38,572
No, sir, I won't.

218
00:10:38,607 --> 00:10:41,992
At this time I'll excuse the grand
jury until 10:00 AM Wednesday,

219
00:10:42,027 --> 00:10:44,612
at which time I will return
with a court order

220
00:10:44,614 --> 00:10:46,780
compelling the witness
to answer that question.

221
00:10:46,831 --> 00:10:48,332
Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.

222
00:10:48,366 --> 00:10:50,451
And, Mr. McAvoy,
you can step down.

223
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:07,134
Hey.

224
00:11:07,136 --> 00:11:09,303
Does anybody know if they got
that guy out of the country?

225
00:11:09,354 --> 00:11:11,939
The writer.
The guy who wrote the fake story.

226
00:11:11,973 --> 00:11:14,141
Been over a week since the
government's known about the breach.

227
00:11:14,192 --> 00:11:15,359
They would have pulled him,
right?

228
00:11:15,393 --> 00:11:18,195
You would think so,
but we need to find out.

229
00:11:19,397 --> 00:11:22,032
Oh, come on!

230
00:11:22,067 --> 00:11:23,817
Come on in.

231
00:11:23,868 --> 00:11:25,853
Don't look at any of these papers,
don't look down,

232
00:11:25,887 --> 00:11:28,072
- and don't ask anyone what they're doing.
- Got it.

233
00:11:28,123 --> 00:11:29,657
I just wanted
to ask you in person

234
00:11:29,659 --> 00:11:32,826
why you haven't accepted my
friend request on Instagram.

235
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,131
It was the very next thing
I was gonna do.

236
00:11:37,165 --> 00:11:39,216
- How about now?
- Sure.

237
00:11:39,250 --> 00:11:41,418
Gary, toss me my phone.

238
00:11:41,469 --> 00:11:43,504
Martin, can you read this over,

239
00:11:43,555 --> 00:11:45,506
and if it looks good to you,
take it to Mac?

240
00:11:45,557 --> 00:11:47,341
Sure.

241
00:11:49,878 --> 00:11:52,346
- Accepted.
- Awesome.

242
00:11:56,101 --> 00:11:57,851
Come in.

243
00:11:57,853 --> 00:12:00,020
It's from Don and it says
"Take to Sloan"

244
00:12:00,022 --> 00:12:01,555
and then it says
"Sabbith" in quotes.

245
00:12:01,589 --> 00:12:03,574
I was told to read it.
Do you think it meant take to Sloan Sabbith...

246
00:12:03,608 --> 00:12:04,908
Was the new HR guy
just down there?

247
00:12:04,943 --> 00:12:07,361
- Yeah, how did you know?
- It's his Instagram password.

248
00:12:10,999 --> 00:12:14,501
Nice try, but my mama didn't raise a
fool unless you count my brothers.

249
00:12:14,536 --> 00:12:16,954
So I don't know what we just did,
but I'm gonna go back to work.

250
00:12:17,005 --> 00:12:18,539
- Yeah.
- Hey.

251
00:12:18,590 --> 00:12:19,957
Have you been outside today?

252
00:12:20,008 --> 00:12:21,875
How do you think I got from
where I live to where I work?

253
00:12:21,926 --> 00:12:23,544
- I just mean it's a gorgeous day.
- Shut up.

254
00:12:23,546 --> 00:12:24,878
All right.

255
00:12:24,929 --> 00:12:27,848
There has to be another way.

256
00:12:27,882 --> 00:12:31,118
There has to be another buyer
for this network in the next...

257
00:12:31,152 --> 00:12:33,554
- Few hours?
- Few days.

258
00:12:36,858 --> 00:12:39,359
Elon Musk, Larry Ellison,
Antoinette Dodd,

259
00:12:39,394 --> 00:12:41,195
Michael...
Michael Bloomberg?

260
00:12:41,229 --> 00:12:42,980
- Do you know any of those people?
<i>- I know all of them.</i>

261
00:12:43,031 --> 00:12:44,698
But Leona and Reese
told you they exhausted

262
00:12:44,733 --> 00:12:46,233
all their options
before they went to Pruit.

263
00:12:46,235 --> 00:12:48,869
They exhausted all their options
for keeping control of AWM

264
00:12:48,903 --> 00:12:51,371
before selling us,
but they didn't necessarily

265
00:12:51,406 --> 00:12:53,540
exhaust their options
of who to sell us to.

266
00:12:53,575 --> 00:12:55,709
Look, I want what you want,

267
00:12:55,744 --> 00:12:58,162
but this is big business
and you're a news director.

268
00:12:58,213 --> 00:12:59,496
<i>You don't know
what you're doing.</i>

269
00:12:59,547 --> 00:13:01,048
You can't just write down
names of rich people.

270
00:13:01,082 --> 00:13:03,050
<i>I didn't just write down...
Those are all people</i>

271
00:13:03,084 --> 00:13:05,252
<i>who would be interested
in media buys.</i>

272
00:13:05,254 --> 00:13:06,837
Elon Musk isn't interested.

273
00:13:06,888 --> 00:13:09,006
Michael Bloomberg
has his own media company.

274
00:13:09,057 --> 00:13:11,475
Larry Ellison is busy
winning the America's Cup.

275
00:13:11,509 --> 00:13:13,644
Toni Dodd...

276
00:13:15,180 --> 00:13:17,731
- Antoinette Dodd.
- What?

277
00:13:17,766 --> 00:13:20,184
- This is unbelievable.
- What?

278
00:13:20,235 --> 00:13:21,685
It's just...
So help me Hannah...

279
00:13:21,736 --> 00:13:23,437
I read in Page Six,
like, two weeks ago

280
00:13:23,439 --> 00:13:24,905
that Toni Dodd was looking
to buy a media group.

281
00:13:24,939 --> 00:13:27,107
<i>I remember because I thought,</i>

282
00:13:27,109 --> 00:13:29,610
"This is exactly what happens to
Melanie Griffith in <i>Working Girl</i>."

283
00:13:29,612 --> 00:13:32,446
And, hand to God,
I was on the Staten Island Ferry at the time.

284
00:13:32,497 --> 00:13:34,531
<i>But there was nothing I could
do with that information,</i>

285
00:13:34,582 --> 00:13:37,618
so my mind went to how good a young
Alec Baldwin was in the movie.

286
00:13:37,620 --> 00:13:40,003
And whatever happened
to that Carly Simon song?

287
00:13:40,038 --> 00:13:42,122
You think Toni Dodd wants
to buy a news network?

288
00:13:42,124 --> 00:13:44,708
Page Six wouldn't say it
unless it was true.

289
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:47,127
And she has in the area
of $4 billion?

290
00:13:47,178 --> 00:13:49,713
That's not how it works.
Nobody has $4 billion.

291
00:13:49,764 --> 00:13:51,465
But, yes, she has $4 billion.

292
00:13:51,516 --> 00:13:54,468
- Are you able to call her? She'll take your call?
- Yeah.

293
00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:58,138
You need to set up a meeting for her
and Leona as soon as humanly possible.

294
00:13:58,189 --> 00:14:00,941
Leona can't meet with another buyer
while she's negotiating with Pruit.

295
00:14:00,975 --> 00:14:03,777
Friendly, informal,
off-the-record meeting.

296
00:14:03,812 --> 00:14:07,114
- Pruit will go away.
- Not fast or far enough.

297
00:14:07,148 --> 00:14:08,482
I know you don't like the guy,
but...

298
00:14:08,533 --> 00:14:10,150
It doesn't matter
that I don't like him.

299
00:14:10,201 --> 00:14:11,869
It matters
that I'm scared of him.

300
00:14:11,903 --> 00:14:13,620
You were scared
of Reese and Leona,

301
00:14:13,655 --> 00:14:15,189
but you turned them around.

302
00:14:15,223 --> 00:14:17,457
You'll fight with Pruit
and you'll win.

303
00:14:17,492 --> 00:14:20,127
I don't want to fight with anybody, Sloan.
I'm tired.

304
00:14:20,161 --> 00:14:22,129
I don't want to expand
the definition of the news.

305
00:14:22,163 --> 00:14:23,497
I want to narrow it.

306
00:14:23,548 --> 00:14:26,416
We'll be right back at the beginning,
only worse.

307
00:14:26,467 --> 00:14:28,635
I can't fight these fights
with this guy.

308
00:14:28,670 --> 00:14:30,888
I won't win.

309
00:14:30,922 --> 00:14:32,840
We can meet with her.

310
00:14:34,142 --> 00:14:36,310
- You and me?
- Yeah.

311
00:14:36,344 --> 00:14:37,978
But quietly.

312
00:14:38,012 --> 00:14:39,930
'Cause there's one option
worse than Pruit,

313
00:14:39,981 --> 00:14:43,517
and that's this place getting sold for
parts and a lot of people out of work.

314
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:45,602
Very quietly.

315
00:14:45,653 --> 00:14:47,688
And now.

316
00:14:49,908 --> 00:14:52,492
- How'd it go?
- Exactly the way we said it would.

317
00:14:52,527 --> 00:14:54,077
Now Lasenthal goes to a judge

318
00:14:54,112 --> 00:14:56,113
to get court to compel Will
to answer the question.

319
00:14:56,164 --> 00:14:58,782
Now,
tell me what's happening in here.

320
00:14:58,833 --> 00:15:00,500
Tell me we'll be able to run
the story by Wednesday night.

321
00:15:00,535 --> 00:15:02,169
We've got the motive,
but we don't have the ringleader.

322
00:15:02,203 --> 00:15:03,670
The motive is what
we thought it was?

323
00:15:03,705 --> 00:15:05,839
To disrupt and delay their elections.
We've got that cold.

324
00:15:05,874 --> 00:15:08,125
Elections that would have yielded
a hard-line Islamic government.

325
00:15:08,176 --> 00:15:09,710
Democracy is good as long
as we like the outcome.

326
00:15:09,744 --> 00:15:11,879
<i>- Yes.</i>
- How do you circle that square?

327
00:15:11,930 --> 00:15:13,881
By knowing that Islam is a religion
and not a form of government.

328
00:15:13,883 --> 00:15:16,550
- When it becomes one, it is fascism.
- And the 38 dead bodies?

329
00:15:16,601 --> 00:15:19,019
Are a bargain compared to what
it'll cost us in blood and money

330
00:15:19,053 --> 00:15:20,888
when we have to bomb the
place five years from now

331
00:15:20,939 --> 00:15:22,306
<i>because it's al-Qaeda's
new home office.</i>

332
00:15:22,357 --> 00:15:24,474
But we've got
a different problem.

333
00:15:24,525 --> 00:15:26,727
The writer of the story,
we think he's still on the ground.

334
00:15:26,729 --> 00:15:28,896
Don and I are each talking to
a different source at State.

335
00:15:28,898 --> 00:15:31,481
When I asked my source if the writer was out,
he said, "I don't know. Is he?"

336
00:15:31,532 --> 00:15:33,367
They're trying
to slow down the story.

337
00:15:33,401 --> 00:15:34,902
Then my guy said,
"No, the writer is not out."

338
00:15:34,904 --> 00:15:37,404
- Do you believe him?
- 50-50.

339
00:15:37,455 --> 00:15:40,240
But when our story comes out that
this guy worked with the US,

340
00:15:40,291 --> 00:15:42,159
they're gonna slit the throats of
his children right in front of him

341
00:15:42,210 --> 00:15:43,877
<i>and then drag them
down Main Street,</i>

342
00:15:43,912 --> 00:15:46,246
so I don't want to pick
the wrong 50.

343
00:15:46,297 --> 00:15:49,249
- <i>Extend your arbitrary deadline.</i>
- It's not arbitrary.

344
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:52,085
Work with State,
get the guy and his family out today.

345
00:15:52,136 --> 00:15:55,672
- It's night in Kundu.
- The phones don't work at our embassy at night?

346
00:16:04,315 --> 00:16:07,017
- What are you working on?
- A piece.

347
00:16:10,939 --> 00:16:12,823
You're not allowed to tell me?

348
00:16:12,857 --> 00:16:14,858
I don't want
to fight right now.

349
00:16:16,444 --> 00:16:18,662
I don't either.

350
00:16:18,696 --> 00:16:20,364
I'm really glad you said that.

351
00:16:21,332 --> 00:16:23,333
Do you mean that?

352
00:16:25,453 --> 00:16:27,838
I have to go back
to the office tonight.

353
00:16:29,290 --> 00:16:32,125
We're crashing on a deadline
I don't even understand.

354
00:16:32,127 --> 00:16:35,212
I just want to eat my sandwich
near you for a while.

355
00:16:35,263 --> 00:16:38,966
Sometimes you say that
and then you ambush me.

356
00:16:40,268 --> 00:16:42,219
What are you working on?

357
00:16:42,270 --> 00:16:44,638
My editor wants me
to write more personally.

358
00:16:44,689 --> 00:16:46,606
- Like an op-ed?
- Yeah.

359
00:16:46,641 --> 00:16:49,059
- What's wrong with op-eds?
- Nothing.

360
00:16:49,110 --> 00:16:51,144
What are you writing about?

361
00:16:51,195 --> 00:16:53,146
I pitched a few,
but the only one they liked

362
00:16:53,197 --> 00:16:55,532
was my experience
with the Plan B pill.

363
00:16:57,819 --> 00:16:59,653
Cool.

364
00:17:01,906 --> 00:17:04,741
- Come on.
- I said cool.

365
00:17:04,792 --> 00:17:07,327
You said more than that.
What's wrong with writing in the first person?

366
00:17:07,378 --> 00:17:09,496
What's wrong with sex?
And what's wrong with my new job?

367
00:17:09,547 --> 00:17:12,332
Hallie, I said cool.

368
00:17:12,334 --> 00:17:14,501
You're not going to give me
a hard time about this?

369
00:17:16,004 --> 00:17:18,922
I'm your boyfriend.
It is my role to support you.

370
00:17:18,973 --> 00:17:22,342
It's a role I'm grateful to
have and I want to do it well.

371
00:17:24,095 --> 00:17:25,846
Thank you.

372
00:17:25,848 --> 00:17:28,265
- Sorry I jumped the gun.
- No problem.

373
00:17:40,745 --> 00:17:42,412
Does your piece begin,
"Dear <i>Penthouse</i>,

374
00:17:42,447 --> 00:17:45,499
- I've never written a letter like this before"?
- Motherfucker!

375
00:18:04,719 --> 00:18:07,304
You know how this is gonna end,
right?

376
00:18:07,355 --> 00:18:09,523
Please don't directly
address my client.

377
00:18:09,557 --> 00:18:11,108
We're in chambers, Counselor.

378
00:18:11,142 --> 00:18:12,559
I don't care if we're
in your fucking hot tub.

379
00:18:12,561 --> 00:18:15,278
Hey, I'm on a government salary.
I barely have a bathtub.

380
00:18:15,313 --> 00:18:16,780
Good morning.

381
00:18:16,814 --> 00:18:18,982
- Morning, Judge.
- Good morning, sir.

382
00:18:19,033 --> 00:18:21,902
Does anybody need
any coffee or anything?

383
00:18:21,953 --> 00:18:23,620
- No, thank you, Judge.
- No, thank you.

384
00:18:23,654 --> 00:18:26,406
Mr. Lasenthal,
how can a man with your resume

385
00:18:26,408 --> 00:18:27,741
possibly let this happen?

386
00:18:27,792 --> 00:18:30,327
Your Honor,
there's a limit to my ability

387
00:18:30,378 --> 00:18:32,245
<i>to let or not let
things happen.</i>

388
00:18:32,247 --> 00:18:34,414
Not much of a limit.

389
00:18:34,416 --> 00:18:37,250
Mr. McAvoy is aware
of the identity of someone

390
00:18:37,252 --> 00:18:40,337
who has committed in excess
of 27,000 counts of theft

391
00:18:40,388 --> 00:18:43,840
<i>of government property,
disclosure of classified documents,</i>

392
00:18:43,891 --> 00:18:46,593
and conspiracy
to commit espionage.

393
00:18:46,595 --> 00:18:48,845
The suspect remains
at large and presents

394
00:18:48,896 --> 00:18:51,481
a clear and present danger
to national security.

395
00:18:51,516 --> 00:18:54,317
<i>Why is he not protected
by the First Amendment?</i>

396
00:18:54,352 --> 00:18:56,770
<i>Because the court in
Branzburg denied the press</i>

397
00:18:56,772 --> 00:18:58,655
First Amendment protection
when they're subpoenaed

398
00:18:58,689 --> 00:19:01,108
to testify before a grand
jury in a criminal case.

399
00:19:01,159 --> 00:19:02,859
Counsel?

400
00:19:02,910 --> 00:19:04,277
Sir,
the court in Branzburg also said

401
00:19:04,328 --> 00:19:07,030
that a journalist need not comply
with a grand jury subpoena

402
00:19:07,081 --> 00:19:09,116
where there's bad faith
or harassment.

403
00:19:09,118 --> 00:19:12,035
The government has raided
my client's newsroom,

404
00:19:12,086 --> 00:19:14,371
seized hard drives,
and threatened him

405
00:19:14,422 --> 00:19:16,506
with criminal prosecution
under the Espionage Act.

406
00:19:16,541 --> 00:19:19,126
In this case,
a journalist participated in the crime.

407
00:19:19,177 --> 00:19:22,045
He didn't pull on a ski mask, Judge.

408
00:19:22,096 --> 00:19:24,764
- He may have unwittingly...
- He didn't do anything unwittingly.

409
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:26,349
<i>He is the senior
editor of ACN Digital.</i>

410
00:19:26,384 --> 00:19:28,185
<i>You are speculating
on whether a third party...</i>

411
00:19:28,219 --> 00:19:29,553
All right, all right.

412
00:19:29,604 --> 00:19:31,972
Mr. McAvoy,
is there anything you'd like to say?

413
00:19:31,974 --> 00:19:34,808
I haven't heard a request from the prosecutor,
sir.

414
00:19:34,842 --> 00:19:37,944
Am I crazy,
or have you argued in my court?

415
00:19:37,979 --> 00:19:41,064
You're not crazy, sir.
Brooklyn Criminal Court, Part C.

416
00:19:41,115 --> 00:19:44,484
- How'd I do?
- You were very fair.

417
00:19:44,486 --> 00:19:47,020
Does Your Honor need
to recuse himself?

418
00:19:47,054 --> 00:19:49,039
I want counsel
to take care of this.

419
00:19:49,073 --> 00:19:52,542
I don't want to see the press on the
steps when I come in to work tomorrow.

420
00:19:52,577 --> 00:19:56,496
And I absolutely don't want to see
you in my courtroom on Thursday,

421
00:19:56,498 --> 00:19:59,216
which I strongly suspect
is what's going to happen

422
00:19:59,250 --> 00:20:01,801
as Mr. McAvoy
does not strike me

423
00:20:01,836 --> 00:20:04,171
as someone
who is likely to cave,

424
00:20:04,173 --> 00:20:06,223
especially with
everybody watching.

425
00:20:06,257 --> 00:20:08,508
It was foolish of you,
Mr. Lasenthal.

426
00:20:08,510 --> 00:20:10,977
The DOJ should not
have let it go this far.

427
00:20:11,012 --> 00:20:14,014
The Department of Justice, Your Honor,
is not playing a strategic game.

428
00:20:14,065 --> 00:20:17,317
We have to arrest his source and the
government of the United States

429
00:20:17,351 --> 00:20:20,270
will avail itself of every
legal measure to do that.

430
00:20:20,321 --> 00:20:22,522
The government's request
is granted.

431
00:20:22,573 --> 00:20:25,192
Mr. McAvoy,
you're directed to appear

432
00:20:25,243 --> 00:20:28,161
before the grand jury
at 10:00 AM tomorrow.

433
00:20:29,864 --> 00:20:32,199
- I have a logic problem.
- Maggie, what's going on over there?

434
00:20:32,201 --> 00:20:35,452
<i>- His logic is inconsistent.</i>
- How?

435
00:20:35,503 --> 00:20:37,871
He doesn't believe the source should
have leaked classified documents.

436
00:20:37,922 --> 00:20:40,924
- Neither do I.
- But he's unwilling to help law enforcement

437
00:20:40,958 --> 00:20:42,509
capture the source
by identifying him.

438
00:20:42,543 --> 00:20:44,594
He can't.
I'd be unwilling and so would you.

439
00:20:44,629 --> 00:20:46,429
I know,
but following that logic,

440
00:20:46,464 --> 00:20:48,465
he should also not be willing
to broadcast the story.

441
00:20:48,516 --> 00:20:50,934
If he believes no one should
ever leak because it poses

442
00:20:50,968 --> 00:20:53,386
a critical threat,
then why is he broadcasting the story?

443
00:20:53,388 --> 00:20:55,105
Well, I can't speak for Will,
but I will.

444
00:20:55,139 --> 00:20:57,190
This leak, he believes,
is a good leak.

445
00:20:57,225 --> 00:20:59,226
What he's very reasonably
worried about is the bad leaks.

446
00:20:59,228 --> 00:21:00,443
So he'd prefer
there are no leaks.

447
00:21:00,478 --> 00:21:02,062
You and Will are making
the same unilateral decision

448
00:21:02,113 --> 00:21:03,396
you don't want
a leaker to make.

449
00:21:03,398 --> 00:21:05,482
I trust strangers
less than I trust me.

450
00:21:05,533 --> 00:21:06,950
Your logic is consistent,
though horrifying.

451
00:21:06,984 --> 00:21:08,735
No one's gonna ever guess
you guys are a couple.

452
00:21:08,786 --> 00:21:10,287
All right, listen.
Listen up.

453
00:21:10,321 --> 00:21:11,871
He's refusing to leave
without his kids

454
00:21:11,906 --> 00:21:14,074
- and his youngest kid doesn't have a passport.
- Jesus. All right.

455
00:21:14,125 --> 00:21:15,742
We got to get the kid a passport.
The State has to expedite that.

456
00:21:15,744 --> 00:21:17,577
The State Department
can only issue US passports.

457
00:21:17,628 --> 00:21:19,329
- <i>They've got to walk over to the embassy...</i>
<i>- And tell them what?</i>

458
00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:21,798
- Where are we?
- Just...

459
00:21:21,832 --> 00:21:25,135
We need a favor. Whatever it is they do.
Can I talk to you a minute?

460
00:21:31,259 --> 00:21:33,893
The youngest of his three
kids doesn't have a passport.

461
00:21:33,928 --> 00:21:35,595
State's got 30 hours
to get him one.

462
00:21:35,646 --> 00:21:38,265
We are talking to mid-level people
and the US Department of State

463
00:21:38,316 --> 00:21:40,100
isn't hopping to it when
we give them instructions.

464
00:21:40,151 --> 00:21:42,769
You have to tell me why
we have to air the story

465
00:21:42,820 --> 00:21:45,488
tomorrow night and not a
week from tomorrow night.

466
00:21:54,115 --> 00:21:56,916
All right,
I'm gonna be out for about four hours.

467
00:21:56,951 --> 00:22:00,120
Once we run the story, we've shot the hostage.
Will has no more leverage.

468
00:22:00,122 --> 00:22:02,922
If we don't run the story,
why don't we all just go home?

469
00:22:02,957 --> 00:22:06,126
Four hours.
Don't ask me where I was when I come back.

470
00:22:08,629 --> 00:22:12,299
And what we say is
important is important.

471
00:22:12,350 --> 00:22:15,101
The news reflects back to us
our national character

472
00:22:15,136 --> 00:22:19,022
and I don't like seeing a bored and
boring teenager in the mirror.

473
00:22:19,056 --> 00:22:22,142
What we say is important
is important.

474
00:22:22,144 --> 00:22:23,777
It's a solid business, Toni.

475
00:22:23,811 --> 00:22:26,813
Locked-in carriage contracts with
every MVPD and they're staggered.

476
00:22:26,815 --> 00:22:28,398
The carriage fees
are due for a hike

477
00:22:28,449 --> 00:22:31,151
that could double revenues by
itself over the next decade.

478
00:22:31,153 --> 00:22:35,071
Can you talk about valuation?
Earnings before interest?

479
00:22:35,122 --> 00:22:36,823
You'll look at our books and
see it's in the sweet spot

480
00:22:36,825 --> 00:22:38,325
and the deal would be
accretive to your earnings.

481
00:22:38,376 --> 00:22:41,127
- It would pay for itself?
- And then some.

482
00:22:42,413 --> 00:22:44,664
Have you decided
what you would like?

483
00:22:44,666 --> 00:22:47,217
A news network.

484
00:22:55,393 --> 00:22:58,311
You were on fire in there.

485
00:22:58,346 --> 00:23:02,048
I didn't understand half or really
any of what you were saying, but...

486
00:23:02,083 --> 00:23:04,567
You were able to follow when she said
she's meeting with her board on Thursday

487
00:23:04,602 --> 00:23:07,437
and she thinks we'll have
an answer we'll like?

488
00:23:07,488 --> 00:23:10,657
Just tell me one thing.
Is she eccentric?

489
00:23:10,691 --> 00:23:13,109
- How do you mean?
- She didn't eat her food.

490
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,529
She pushed it around a little,
but she plainly doesn't like sushi.

491
00:23:16,531 --> 00:23:19,416
Why set a meeting at a restaurant
where they only serve sushi?

492
00:23:19,450 --> 00:23:21,368
Boss,
you may be overthinking that.

493
00:23:21,370 --> 00:23:23,620
That's hardly ever the problem.

494
00:23:23,671 --> 00:23:25,789
We'll find out Thursday.

495
00:23:32,179 --> 00:23:33,430
It's ahead on the left.

496
00:23:33,464 --> 00:23:35,932
<i>Just here.</i>

497
00:23:48,479 --> 00:23:50,864
You can keep the meter running.

498
00:23:56,237 --> 00:23:59,239
- No umbrella?
- You either.

499
00:23:59,241 --> 00:24:01,074
Should we sit in your car?

500
00:24:01,076 --> 00:24:03,293
They may be tapping my car.

501
00:24:03,327 --> 00:24:05,995
I disabled the GPS,
but they can still get in.

502
00:24:06,046 --> 00:24:08,998
- We need more time.
- I told you tomorrow night.

503
00:24:09,049 --> 00:24:11,384
- Lilly.
- Tomorrow night or I just have to upload the documents.

504
00:24:11,419 --> 00:24:13,336
- The writer of the story...
- We're the writer of the story.

505
00:24:13,387 --> 00:24:15,588
Joseph Bartho,
who physically wrote the story,

506
00:24:15,639 --> 00:24:18,224
whose name is on it,
and who is paid by the US government,

507
00:24:18,259 --> 00:24:22,345
is still on the ground because one of
his kids doesn't have a passport yet.

508
00:24:22,396 --> 00:24:25,932
If we run the story before
Bartho and his family are out,

509
00:24:25,983 --> 00:24:29,102
the best-case scenario is he gets
a trial before he's executed.

510
00:24:29,153 --> 00:24:32,021
And if you dump the documents
without them being vetted,

511
00:24:32,072 --> 00:24:34,741
there's a very good chance other
people will be in danger.

512
00:24:34,775 --> 00:24:36,609
You really don't need to speak
to me like I'm dim-witted.

513
00:24:36,611 --> 00:24:39,779
- Please lift the deadline.
- Give me a reason to trust you.

514
00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:42,532
You already did.
You reached out to us.

515
00:24:42,583 --> 00:24:44,784
- Not the other way around.
- But you've been talking to the government.

516
00:24:44,835 --> 00:24:48,037
We got an invitation to talk to the government.
It's called a subpoena.

517
00:24:48,088 --> 00:24:50,757
They also made an unannounced
drop-by called a raid.

518
00:24:50,791 --> 00:24:52,959
I'm not talking about that.

519
00:24:52,961 --> 00:24:55,211
You said that you've been working with
the government to vet the material.

520
00:24:55,262 --> 00:24:57,096
- Of course we are.
- You trust them?

521
00:24:57,131 --> 00:25:00,767
- In my way.
- You don't trust them any more than I do.

522
00:25:00,801 --> 00:25:03,269
Please lift the deadline.

523
00:25:04,355 --> 00:25:06,306
I reached out to Neal,
not to you.

524
00:25:06,308 --> 00:25:09,726
Well,
Neal's in Venezuela, Lilly.

525
00:25:09,777 --> 00:25:11,528
And you know what?

526
00:25:11,562 --> 00:25:13,396
Why aren't you?

527
00:25:13,447 --> 00:25:16,282
Why haven't you said,
"This has gone too far. Let's switch places.

528
00:25:16,317 --> 00:25:18,651
I'll go to a country with
no extradition treaty.

529
00:25:18,702 --> 00:25:20,320
You're now free
to disclose my name.

530
00:25:20,322 --> 00:25:22,989
Neal can come home and Will
can stop spending his days

531
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,492
in front of a grand jury."
Why hasn't that happened?

532
00:25:25,543 --> 00:25:27,877
You really think the price for telling
the truth should be that high?

533
00:25:31,048 --> 00:25:32,916
No, I don't.

534
00:25:34,335 --> 00:25:37,754
I promise the story
will be reported.

535
00:25:38,973 --> 00:25:40,306
Well, I can't promise anything.

536
00:25:40,341 --> 00:25:42,509
- Really?
- Look, McAvoy's a Republican.

537
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,094
- I know he thinks I'm a criminal.
- He's a journalist.

538
00:25:45,145 --> 00:25:46,429
His politics don't
have anything...

539
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,314
"Worst-period-generation-
period-ever-period."

540
00:25:48,349 --> 00:25:50,183
That was spoken in the
middle of a very difficult...

541
00:25:50,234 --> 00:25:52,769
I reached out to Neal,
so I can't promise anything.

542
00:25:55,940 --> 00:25:58,575
You know,
it wouldn't matter if you did.

543
00:25:58,609 --> 00:26:00,577
I trust you less
than I trust them.

544
00:26:00,611 --> 00:26:03,947
Dump the documents
and I'll quit my job,

545
00:26:03,998 --> 00:26:07,584
walk to the FBI,
and give them your name.

546
00:26:07,618 --> 00:26:09,836
- Trust that.
- Fuck you.

547
00:26:12,540 --> 00:26:15,041
We can go back
to the airport now.

548
00:26:21,065 --> 00:26:23,850
Mr. McAvoy,
I have here a court order directing you

549
00:26:23,884 --> 00:26:25,552
to tell us the name
of the individual

550
00:26:25,603 --> 00:26:27,387
that is the target
of this investigation.

551
00:26:27,438 --> 00:26:29,806
- <i>Will you comply with the court order?</i>
- No, sir.

552
00:26:29,857 --> 00:26:33,993
- <i>You won't comply with the court order?</i>
- No, sir.

553
00:26:38,399 --> 00:26:40,199
I saw a lot of spirit in that shot,
a lot of guts.

554
00:26:40,234 --> 00:26:41,901
Shut it, Fast Eddie.

555
00:26:41,952 --> 00:26:44,871
Why are hot women in movies
always great at pool?

556
00:26:44,905 --> 00:26:47,790
Is that what men like?
A hot girl who plays nine-ball?

557
00:26:47,825 --> 00:26:49,375
You could have said
anything after "hot girl"

558
00:26:49,410 --> 00:26:51,044
- and the answer would have been...
- All right.

559
00:26:54,999 --> 00:26:58,251
- Oh, brother.
- What happened?

560
00:26:58,253 --> 00:27:00,753
- <i>Hallie posted a column. You ready?</i>
- Mm-hmm.

561
00:27:00,804 --> 00:27:03,756
"Old Media Guy
and New Media Girl:

562
00:27:03,758 --> 00:27:05,308
An Analog Romance."

563
00:27:05,342 --> 00:27:07,260
- What's it about?
- What do you think it's about?

564
00:27:07,262 --> 00:27:09,095
- Him?
- Yeah.

565
00:27:09,146 --> 00:27:12,432
It's pretty personal, but in her defense,
she doesn't use his name.

566
00:27:12,483 --> 00:27:14,400
- What does she call him?
<i>- Jim?</i>

567
00:27:14,435 --> 00:27:16,853
- Yeah.
- Tim.

568
00:27:17,938 --> 00:27:19,772
Hallie is
an excellent reporter.

569
00:27:19,774 --> 00:27:22,075
And she's reporting on a fight
she's having with her boyfriend.

570
00:27:22,109 --> 00:27:24,243
- She's working a tough beat.
<i>- It's a lot more than that.</i>

571
00:27:24,278 --> 00:27:25,612
Okay, read it.

572
00:27:25,614 --> 00:27:27,997
"My boyfriend loves me,
but he doesn't like me.

573
00:27:28,032 --> 00:27:31,501
He definitely doesn't follow me.
He disapproves of me."

574
00:27:31,535 --> 00:27:34,671
Maybe he just disapproves of using the
word "me" four times in the lead.

575
00:27:34,705 --> 00:27:36,789
How would you have
written it instead?

576
00:27:36,791 --> 00:27:39,792
I'm not a professional writer,
but I'd have maybe tweaked the opening so it read,

577
00:27:39,843 --> 00:27:41,594
"I am not making
my private life

578
00:27:41,629 --> 00:27:43,630
and the private lives of others
available for entertainment

579
00:27:43,681 --> 00:27:46,265
so I can get comments like,
'You stay strong, Hallie.

580
00:27:46,300 --> 00:27:48,801
He doesn't deserve you.'"
Seven in the corner.

581
00:27:48,803 --> 00:27:51,938
I have been a witness to Jim
being a condescending...

582
00:27:53,107 --> 00:27:54,440
Look,
there's nothing wrong with this.

583
00:27:54,475 --> 00:27:57,060
It's relatable and interesting
and she can write like crazy.

584
00:27:57,111 --> 00:27:59,812
Did she ask Jim's permission before
deputizing him into her well-written...

585
00:27:59,863 --> 00:28:02,115
Why are you so quick
to defend Jim?

586
00:28:02,149 --> 00:28:03,900
<i>Why are you so quick
to defend Hallie?</i>

587
00:28:03,951 --> 00:28:06,035
Because she's going
to be attacked by Jim.

588
00:28:06,070 --> 00:28:08,705
Probably not in print,
but I don't think that's the reason.

589
00:28:08,739 --> 00:28:11,908
I'm always grateful when a man can tell
me why I'm thinking what I'm thinking.

590
00:28:11,959 --> 00:28:14,377
You're into Jim and you don't
want to be a jealous cliché,

591
00:28:14,411 --> 00:28:16,663
so you defend Hallie for show.

592
00:28:16,665 --> 00:28:18,748
And it's a classy thing to do,

593
00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:21,718
but at some point we're going to have
to discuss how that makes me feel

594
00:28:21,752 --> 00:28:24,220
to know that any man in your life
is going to be the runner-up.

595
00:28:26,256 --> 00:28:27,724
You really believe that?

596
00:28:59,206 --> 00:29:01,174
Still got my security key.

597
00:29:09,933 --> 00:29:11,884
This place has gone
to hell without me.

598
00:29:11,886 --> 00:29:14,053
Mm-hmm.

599
00:29:21,695 --> 00:29:23,229
It's almost 1:00 in the morning,
Jim.

600
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,200
Are you not coming home
or answering my calls or texts?

601
00:29:31,121 --> 00:29:34,157
I told you my editor wanted me
to write more personally.

602
00:29:37,412 --> 00:29:39,579
There are classified
documents in this room.

603
00:29:39,630 --> 00:29:41,631
You can't be in here.

604
00:29:59,266 --> 00:30:02,018
It was an invasion of privacy.
I'm really sorry for that.

605
00:30:02,069 --> 00:30:03,936
I was mad.
We had just had the last fight

606
00:30:03,938 --> 00:30:06,522
and I went into the other
room and wrote it.

607
00:30:06,573 --> 00:30:08,574
You know my computer
doesn't trust me.

608
00:30:08,609 --> 00:30:10,860
It always asks are you sure
you want to do this?

609
00:30:10,911 --> 00:30:12,445
But it never asks
before I hit...

610
00:30:12,447 --> 00:30:15,615
I don't care about the invasion of privacy.
I wish I did.

611
00:30:17,251 --> 00:30:19,252
I've been here for hours

612
00:30:19,286 --> 00:30:22,505
trying to make myself mad because
it was an invasion of privacy.

613
00:30:22,589 --> 00:30:24,624
And the crowd would be on my side.
That's a no-brainer.

614
00:30:24,626 --> 00:30:28,127
- You don't like me very much.
<i>- And I wish I didn't like you so much.</i>

615
00:30:29,963 --> 00:30:31,881
Took five fucking days, Hallie,

616
00:30:31,932 --> 00:30:33,633
for you to give yourself
your own reality show.

617
00:30:33,635 --> 00:30:36,602
I understand your wanting
to insult me right now,

618
00:30:36,637 --> 00:30:38,304
but that's not what I did.

619
00:30:38,306 --> 00:30:41,057
Writing about the media,
writing about the New York elite,

620
00:30:41,108 --> 00:30:43,693
telling personal stories
that resonate with readers

621
00:30:43,727 --> 00:30:46,479
doesn't take one cent
away from covering Syria

622
00:30:46,530 --> 00:30:48,564
and Afghanistan and Washington.

623
00:30:48,615 --> 00:30:50,066
There are foreign
correspondents,

624
00:30:50,117 --> 00:30:51,734
sports correspondents,
fashion correspondents.

625
00:30:51,785 --> 00:30:53,486
And an unbearable
correspondent.

626
00:30:53,488 --> 00:30:56,405
<i>Jealous of the New York elites?
I've got you covered.</i>

627
00:30:56,456 --> 00:30:59,041
A movie star was at
an environmental fundraiser

628
00:30:59,076 --> 00:31:00,626
and they rode on a private jet?

629
00:31:00,661 --> 00:31:02,378
Here's your phony outrage.

630
00:31:02,462 --> 00:31:04,964
Feeling a little like
you didn't make the cut?

631
00:31:04,998 --> 00:31:07,500
I hereby declare
that amateurs are awesome

632
00:31:07,551 --> 00:31:10,386
and professionals
are so 20 years ago.

633
00:31:10,420 --> 00:31:13,055
Only instead of professionals,
I'm gonna say old media,

634
00:31:13,090 --> 00:31:14,640
and instead of Jim,
I'm gonna say Tim

635
00:31:14,675 --> 00:31:17,143
because I'm Hallie Shea,
Senior Fuck You Correspondent

636
00:31:17,177 --> 00:31:19,929
- <i>and I've decided to become a star.</i>
- Are you drunk?

637
00:31:19,980 --> 00:31:23,015
Did you out yourself about the Boston tweet
to make sure no one suspected anyone else

638
00:31:23,017 --> 00:31:25,067
or did you do it to let our
enemies know you were available?

639
00:31:25,102 --> 00:31:26,936
Do you hear the way
you're talking right now?

640
00:31:26,987 --> 00:31:29,155
- Our enemies?
- Did you?

641
00:31:29,189 --> 00:31:31,440
I'm gonna stay
at my place tonight.

642
00:31:32,659 --> 00:31:34,193
Do you mind
if I tell you something?

643
00:31:34,244 --> 00:31:36,279
Your problem isn't with me
and it isn't with the site.

644
00:31:36,330 --> 00:31:39,198
It's with the audience.
You don't like that they like what they like

645
00:31:39,249 --> 00:31:41,250
because you need them to like
you and that's no different...

646
00:31:41,285 --> 00:31:43,419
I don't give a shit
about me or liking me

647
00:31:43,453 --> 00:31:47,373
or following me or
friending me or trending.

648
00:31:47,375 --> 00:31:48,791
It's just ugly.

649
00:31:48,842 --> 00:31:50,543
I think you're threatened
by technology.

650
00:31:50,545 --> 00:31:52,211
<i>I beam a signal into
outer space every night.</i>

651
00:31:52,262 --> 00:31:54,714
I'm not scared of your Samsung Galaxy.
What else you got?

652
00:31:54,765 --> 00:31:57,266
I want to be part of the digital revolution.
I want to be part of...

653
00:31:57,301 --> 00:32:00,770
Oh, my God!
I am not talking about the apparatus.

654
00:32:04,224 --> 00:32:05,691
Just tell me
you know I'm right.

655
00:32:05,726 --> 00:32:07,443
Please. Please.

656
00:32:07,477 --> 00:32:09,362
At least tell me that.

657
00:32:09,396 --> 00:32:12,615
Tell me when you knock away the
digital revolution bullshit...

658
00:32:12,649 --> 00:32:15,401
"We're not beholden
to corporate masters."

659
00:32:15,452 --> 00:32:17,286
Yeah,
or any standard of good taste.

660
00:32:17,321 --> 00:32:19,622
Tell me, please,
that you know all you did

661
00:32:19,656 --> 00:32:22,625
was have a fight with your boyfriend
and litigate it in public.

662
00:32:22,659 --> 00:32:24,744
Because I have spent time
with hardcore drug movers

663
00:32:24,795 --> 00:32:27,079
and they don't pretend
they're selling medicine.

664
00:32:38,392 --> 00:32:40,343
Yeah, I'm drunk.

665
00:33:21,768 --> 00:33:25,021
- I'm gonna miss you.
- You're gonna miss a lot of things, Jim.

666
00:33:42,823 --> 00:33:46,492
- Yeah?
- If he sentences you, where do you go?

667
00:33:46,543 --> 00:33:48,828
Nowhere.
He's not gonna find me in contempt.

668
00:33:48,830 --> 00:33:51,047
- But if he does?
- Manhattan Correctional Center.

669
00:33:51,081 --> 00:33:54,417
- That's a real jail.
- And you've been shot at and you've been stabbed.

670
00:33:54,468 --> 00:33:57,636
It's 1:30.

671
00:33:57,671 --> 00:33:59,472
I think that's your phone.

672
00:34:08,348 --> 00:34:10,850
We need a table or a dresser

673
00:34:10,852 --> 00:34:12,735
where I can put my phone.

674
00:34:12,769 --> 00:34:15,021
Also walls and electricity.

675
00:34:15,072 --> 00:34:16,939
Hello.

676
00:34:16,990 --> 00:34:18,908
Is it Rebecca?
Is it Charlie?

677
00:34:18,942 --> 00:34:21,077
It wouldn't be Charlie.
It'd be Rebecca. Is it work?

678
00:34:21,111 --> 00:34:23,162
It would've been my phone if it was work.
Is it Rebecca?

679
00:34:23,196 --> 00:34:25,498
Hang on.

680
00:34:27,834 --> 00:34:29,869
Yeah?

681
00:34:31,004 --> 00:34:32,588
Okay.

682
00:34:32,622 --> 00:34:35,541
No court tomorrow.
The hearing's been moved to Friday.

683
00:34:35,592 --> 00:34:38,377
Cedarman wants Lasenthal
and Rebecca to work on a deal.

684
00:34:38,379 --> 00:34:41,380
Does he know there won't be a deal
that involves not airing the story?

685
00:34:41,431 --> 00:34:44,884
What he knows is he doesn't want to be
the judge who locked up a news anchor.

686
00:34:47,471 --> 00:34:49,638
I find your Irish stoicism...

687
00:34:49,689 --> 00:34:51,841
- Sexy?
- Irritating.

688
00:34:55,812 --> 00:34:57,229
Thank you.

689
00:34:57,231 --> 00:34:59,698
He's out.

690
00:35:01,785 --> 00:35:04,070
Everybody. The whole family.
Everybody's out.

691
00:35:04,121 --> 00:35:06,238
Here we go, tonight.

692
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:08,707
Show me a rough sketch
to time by 3:00.

693
00:35:08,742 --> 00:35:10,743
Good job, everybody.
Thank you.

694
00:35:10,827 --> 00:35:13,329
We're not done yet.
Good job, Don.

695
00:35:13,380 --> 00:35:15,831
Jim,
you look sleepier than usual.

696
00:35:15,882 --> 00:35:18,584
Tess, Gary, Kendra, Martin,
Sloan, you did nothing.

697
00:35:18,635 --> 00:35:20,252
- <i>Maggie...</i>
- Mac.

698
00:35:20,303 --> 00:35:21,887
Jenna,
your future is limitless.

699
00:35:21,922 --> 00:35:23,222
Reese wants to see you
in his office.

700
00:35:23,256 --> 00:35:25,508
Now?

701
00:35:37,187 --> 00:35:38,988
Reese?

702
00:35:39,022 --> 00:35:41,490
Come on in.
Close the door, please.

703
00:35:41,525 --> 00:35:45,945
Joseph Bartho and the Joseph
Bartho Family Singers are out.

704
00:35:45,996 --> 00:35:47,413
We just got the word.
They're heading to France

705
00:35:47,447 --> 00:35:50,366
via 14 connecting flights
and a team of oxen.

706
00:35:50,417 --> 00:35:51,917
So we're running
the story tonight.

707
00:35:51,952 --> 00:35:55,121
You can't.
I'm sorry, you can't run it at all.

708
00:35:59,543 --> 00:36:01,293
Why?

709
00:36:01,295 --> 00:36:03,095
Pruit.
He signs a deal at the end of the day

710
00:36:03,130 --> 00:36:05,047
and he won't
if we run the story.

711
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:11,270
Because of Will?

712
00:36:11,304 --> 00:36:13,639
Says he doesn't think there's a
chance Cedarman's gonna send him.

713
00:36:13,690 --> 00:36:16,358
It's not because of Will.
He likes that Will's going to jail.

714
00:36:16,393 --> 00:36:18,394
He wants him to broadcast
from there.

715
00:36:18,445 --> 00:36:20,479
- I'm certain they won't allow that.
- I'm certain they won't, too.

716
00:36:20,530 --> 00:36:22,398
- What's the problem, Reese?
- The fines.

717
00:36:22,449 --> 00:36:24,033
His lawyers had to be told
about the story

718
00:36:24,067 --> 00:36:26,569
and they've advised him that if
the story was gathered illegally,

719
00:36:26,620 --> 00:36:30,656
the Justice Department can and probably
will impose crippling criminal fines.

720
00:36:37,964 --> 00:36:40,166
- This is horseshit.
- I know.

721
00:36:40,217 --> 00:36:43,886
The source risked everything.

722
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,805
Neal's hiding in South America.

723
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,390
Will is facing a grand jury.

724
00:36:48,425 --> 00:36:49,975
Bartho and his family
fled the country.

725
00:36:50,010 --> 00:36:51,510
- And it was for nothing?
<i>- Mac.</i>

726
00:36:51,561 --> 00:36:55,097
- It was for nothing?
- Yeah.

727
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:59,518
Selling the company is the only way
you get to live to fight another day.

728
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,021
Do we ever get to win one?

729
00:37:05,742 --> 00:37:07,359
I've got to go
and tell the staff.

730
00:37:07,410 --> 00:37:11,664
Hey, Mac. You know,
the fight with the grand jury isn't over.

731
00:37:11,698 --> 00:37:13,832
- They still want his source.
- I know.

732
00:37:13,867 --> 00:37:16,835
Since the day you got here,
Will's been having a battle with himself.

733
00:37:16,870 --> 00:37:19,205
Is he a real journalist
or just good on TV?

734
00:37:19,256 --> 00:37:21,924
You ever think he might
be doing this for you?

735
00:37:21,958 --> 00:37:25,377
Because I don't think there's not a
chance he's gonna be sent to jail.

736
00:37:25,379 --> 00:37:27,129
I've got his ring on my finger.

737
00:37:27,180 --> 00:37:29,765
He's not doing this
to win my approval.

738
00:37:29,799 --> 00:37:33,052
Then it would be the first thing
I've seen him do that wasn't.

739
00:37:39,476 --> 00:37:41,227
I'm going to tell the staff.

740
00:37:41,229 --> 00:37:43,646
- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.

741
00:38:19,683 --> 00:38:23,402
Can I make a suggestion which,
if you think about it, makes a lot of sense?

742
00:38:24,604 --> 00:38:26,021
Don't say anything.

743
00:38:26,072 --> 00:38:27,856
Have Rebecca go to Lasenthal
and say we're willing

744
00:38:27,907 --> 00:38:30,025
to kill the story in exchange
for everybody's off the hook.

745
00:38:30,076 --> 00:38:33,412
Do you think there's a chance Will
would let Rebecca utter those words?

746
00:38:33,446 --> 00:38:37,866
No.

747
00:38:39,452 --> 00:38:41,704
Let's pack the documents
up in cartons

748
00:38:41,755 --> 00:38:43,205
and label everything.

749
00:38:43,256 --> 00:38:46,041
Yep.

750
00:38:47,627 --> 00:38:49,795
Who's the most responsible
reporter you can name?

751
00:38:49,797 --> 00:38:51,680
- You.
- Thank you.

752
00:38:51,715 --> 00:38:53,966
Who doesn't work here.

753
00:38:53,968 --> 00:38:56,468
Maybe someone who could
use a break.

754
00:38:57,470 --> 00:38:59,138
Responsible how?

755
00:39:05,061 --> 00:39:07,146
There is an old teacher
of mine from Columbia.

756
00:39:07,148 --> 00:39:10,032
<i>She mostly gets garbage assignments
now 'cause she's in her 70s.</i>

757
00:39:10,066 --> 00:39:12,201
Write her name down.

758
00:39:20,327 --> 00:39:22,961
I just heard.
Sorry, Bubba.

759
00:39:24,147 --> 00:39:25,998
Good afternoon.

760
00:39:29,836 --> 00:39:32,638
I'll tell you, Mr. Geary,
this isn't the best time.

761
00:39:32,672 --> 00:39:34,506
You two are a couple.

762
00:39:34,508 --> 00:39:36,141
We're not,
but maybe we can do this later.

763
00:39:36,176 --> 00:39:39,094
No, you are.
I have a signed letter declaring that you are.

764
00:39:39,145 --> 00:39:42,231
It was sitting in my office in a pile
of things I hadn't gotten to yet.

765
00:39:42,265 --> 00:39:44,516
- Somebody ratted us out?
- Yes.

766
00:39:44,518 --> 00:39:46,568
Nobody around here would drop a dime.
You're blowing smoke.

767
00:39:46,603 --> 00:39:47,569
- Who cheesed?
- Okay, Mugsy.

768
00:39:47,604 --> 00:39:49,104
- <i>You did.</i>
- Huh?

769
00:39:49,155 --> 00:39:51,857
- You did.
- Which one of us are you talking to?

770
00:39:51,859 --> 00:39:53,826
- I think you know.
- What's he talking about?

771
00:39:53,860 --> 00:39:56,695
Sloan wrote a letter to HR
declaring the two of you a couple.

772
00:39:56,697 --> 00:40:00,199
Yeah, it was after you made $125 on the
Chipotle trade I tipped you off to.

773
00:40:00,201 --> 00:40:02,868
We spent the last two weeks trying to
conceal from this man that we're dating

774
00:40:02,870 --> 00:40:05,254
and the whole time you knew you'd sent
him a letter saying we were dating?

775
00:40:05,288 --> 00:40:06,588
- Mm-hmm.
- Why?

776
00:40:06,623 --> 00:40:08,290
Well, obviously I was
hoping he'd never find out.

777
00:40:08,341 --> 00:40:09,958
But you knew he was gonna
read the letter eventually.

778
00:40:10,009 --> 00:40:12,378
Eventually is a wonderful
time of day.

779
00:40:12,462 --> 00:40:14,680
This was a cross that bridge when
we get to it situation for me.

780
00:40:14,714 --> 00:40:16,632
And here we are.
We're at the bridge.

781
00:40:16,683 --> 00:40:19,184
- Wyatt...
- Is lying to corporate something you do habitually?

782
00:40:19,219 --> 00:40:22,137
Don and I like to make decisions
about lying on a case-by-case basis.

783
00:40:22,188 --> 00:40:23,639
Maybe you've helped enough.

784
00:40:23,673 --> 00:40:26,392
Please,
don't transfer one of us.

785
00:40:26,394 --> 00:40:29,027
We don't work together enough,
but the little we do works.

786
00:40:29,062 --> 00:40:31,363
And if you ask Sloan to choose
between me and her job,

787
00:40:31,398 --> 00:40:34,066
you wouldn't be able to get that
sentence out before she said her job,

788
00:40:34,068 --> 00:40:36,568
and I really like her and I'm
trying to be good enough.

789
00:40:36,619 --> 00:40:38,370
And this here is the
best thing that I do.

790
00:40:38,405 --> 00:40:40,739
And can I say one more thing?
It's just occurred to me

791
00:40:40,790 --> 00:40:43,876
that your company is only going to own
my network until the end of the day,

792
00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:46,078
so what the hell has this
all been about?

793
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,131
- Come to think of it...
- I'm blown away you let me do it this long.

794
00:40:49,165 --> 00:40:50,916
Why did you do it this long?

795
00:40:50,967 --> 00:40:52,718
Fun.

796
00:40:52,752 --> 00:40:54,670
I work in HR.

797
00:40:54,721 --> 00:40:57,840
Our days aren't scored
by the "Hallelujah Chorus."

798
00:40:59,476 --> 00:41:03,011
I don't know anything about the
story you were all working on,

799
00:41:03,062 --> 00:41:05,597
but I know enough to say sorry.

800
00:41:07,100 --> 00:41:09,017
Good luck to the two of you.

801
00:41:09,068 --> 00:41:11,854
I'm a big fan.

802
00:41:11,905 --> 00:41:14,323
Put those Instagram
photos back.

803
00:41:14,357 --> 00:41:17,109
- Yes, sir.
- Why haven't we heard anything yet?

804
00:41:17,111 --> 00:41:19,411
- The board's still meeting.
- Pruit just walked into the building.

805
00:41:19,446 --> 00:41:21,363
- He's an hour early.
- Yeah.

806
00:41:21,414 --> 00:41:23,182
What are you guys
talking about?

807
00:41:23,216 --> 00:41:26,034
The Bloomberg terminal will tell
us everything we need to know.

808
00:41:28,338 --> 00:41:32,090
Bloomberg terminal, tell us what's going
on with Toni Dodd's board meeting.

809
00:41:32,125 --> 00:41:33,342
It's not a Ouija board.

810
00:41:33,376 --> 00:41:35,928
I wasn't...
I was just, you know, praying.

811
00:41:35,962 --> 00:41:37,379
- What are you two...
- Hang on.

812
00:41:37,430 --> 00:41:39,798
Their press rep just tweeted,

813
00:41:39,849 --> 00:41:42,434
"Exciting announcement
about major media acquisition

814
00:41:42,469 --> 00:41:44,436
coming at 5:00 PM."

815
00:41:44,471 --> 00:41:46,855
Go. Tell Reese.

816
00:41:46,890 --> 00:41:48,307
So what's going on?

817
00:41:48,309 --> 00:41:51,193
We found a white knight.
Antoinette Dodd's gonna buy ACN.

818
00:41:51,227 --> 00:41:52,611
- Are you kidding?
- Hang on.

819
00:41:52,645 --> 00:41:54,313
- <i>No, seriously.</i>
- Hang on.

820
00:41:54,364 --> 00:41:56,899
- How did you do that?
- Shit.

821
00:41:56,950 --> 00:41:58,784
- What?
- This can't be happening.

822
00:41:58,818 --> 00:42:00,035
I don't know what
you're looking at.

823
00:42:00,069 --> 00:42:01,870
Options on Halifax
just started trading up.

824
00:42:01,905 --> 00:42:05,491
- The Halifax Group.
- Halifax Group options...

825
00:42:05,493 --> 00:42:07,242
Fuck!

826
00:42:07,293 --> 00:42:09,044
She's buying Halifax.

827
00:42:09,078 --> 00:42:10,829
She met...
I don't believe this.

828
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,381
She met with us.
She wanted them to think...

829
00:42:12,415 --> 00:42:14,466
We were leverage.

830
00:42:16,169 --> 00:42:18,220
God damn it!

831
00:42:19,472 --> 00:42:21,890
<i>There's no need for airports.</i>

832
00:42:21,925 --> 00:42:23,809
Just runways and a fence.

833
00:42:23,843 --> 00:42:25,811
That's a hell of a plan, Lucas.

834
00:42:25,845 --> 00:42:29,181
Dude, I told you in college that one day I
was gonna buy a company out from under you.

835
00:42:29,232 --> 00:42:30,816
I gave you, like,
15 years' warning.

836
00:42:30,850 --> 00:42:34,102
I remember you telling me you
were sleeping with my girlfriend,

837
00:42:34,153 --> 00:42:35,687
but not the second thing.

838
00:42:35,689 --> 00:42:37,439
You were probably in shock
from the first thing.

839
00:42:37,490 --> 00:42:41,527
Call it off! You don't have to
sell us to this pretentious ponce.

840
00:42:41,529 --> 00:42:44,196
Toni Dodd just got out
of her board meeting

841
00:42:44,198 --> 00:42:46,365
and she's gonna make
a competitive offer.

842
00:42:46,416 --> 00:42:50,202
So fuck you and fuck you again,
you fiber-optic yak.

843
00:42:50,204 --> 00:42:53,505
Charlie. Charlie.

844
00:42:55,542 --> 00:42:58,427
What Sloan's telling Charlie is
that people are buying Halifax

845
00:42:58,461 --> 00:43:00,879
at the current stock price with
an expiration on the assumption

846
00:43:00,930 --> 00:43:02,881
<i>that Toni's about to
announce she's buying it.</i>

847
00:43:02,883 --> 00:43:04,633
It was leverage, Charlie.

848
00:43:04,684 --> 00:43:06,768
She wanted people to think
she was looking at ACN.

849
00:43:06,803 --> 00:43:08,604
That's why she had you guys
eat at that sushi place.

850
00:43:08,638 --> 00:43:10,305
She knew there was a Halifax
board member there.

851
00:43:10,356 --> 00:43:12,391
- You're gonna love me, Charlie.
- No, I'm not.

852
00:43:12,393 --> 00:43:13,892
Yeah, you are.

853
00:43:13,894 --> 00:43:16,228
I'm gonna take you
into the 21st century

854
00:43:16,279 --> 00:43:19,114
right after I drag you
through the 19th and 20th.

855
00:43:19,148 --> 00:43:21,700
- You couldn't have gotten here 10 seconds sooner?
- I just saw it.

856
00:43:21,734 --> 00:43:24,369
- What's the point of having a Bloomberg terminal...
- It's not the terminal's fault.

857
00:43:24,404 --> 00:43:25,487
<i>You want a ceremonial pen?</i>

858
00:43:25,538 --> 00:43:27,623
It can write in a zero
gravity environment.

859
00:43:27,657 --> 00:43:29,992
Yeah,
I plan to take a trip through the ionosphere.

860
00:43:30,043 --> 00:43:33,078
Keep that sense of humor.
You're very entertaining.

861
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,414
- No, whoa. Come on.
- Whoa. Whoa.

862
00:43:35,465 --> 00:43:37,332
We're sworn enemies now,
he and I.

863
00:43:37,383 --> 00:43:38,884
He can still hear you.

864
00:43:40,753 --> 00:43:43,722
- Did you see Charlie?
- After the show.

865
00:43:43,756 --> 00:43:45,757
He was cleaning his
12-gauge with Maker's Mark

866
00:43:45,759 --> 00:43:47,676
and muttering,
"Kill the wabbit."

867
00:43:51,931 --> 00:43:54,766
It's not Irish stoicism, is it?

868
00:43:56,603 --> 00:44:00,439
This is some kind of
internal baptism for you,

869
00:44:00,490 --> 00:44:04,276
which would be heartbreaking enough,
except I think maybe it's a little for me.

870
00:44:04,278 --> 00:44:07,446
Don't you know that
anything that can be proven

871
00:44:07,497 --> 00:44:10,749
by courage and character,
you proved to me a long time ago?

872
00:44:10,783 --> 00:44:12,451
You want me to give up
the source?

873
00:44:12,502 --> 00:44:14,119
I just want you to say
you're scared.

874
00:44:14,170 --> 00:44:15,921
All right, here's the thing,
MacKenzie.

875
00:44:15,955 --> 00:44:18,590
'Cause I love you,
but you've had me on your couch for three years

876
00:44:18,625 --> 00:44:20,792
and this one time
we're switching places.

877
00:44:20,794 --> 00:44:22,711
You're tearing yourself up

878
00:44:22,762 --> 00:44:25,013
because you either prioritize
the story over me,

879
00:44:25,048 --> 00:44:26,632
which you think
makes you a bad person,

880
00:44:26,683 --> 00:44:28,266
or you prioritize me
over the story,

881
00:44:28,301 --> 00:44:29,801
which you think makes
you a bad reporter.

882
00:44:29,803 --> 00:44:32,638
Either way, you're wrong.
The source came to Neal

883
00:44:32,689 --> 00:44:34,940
and then I asked Neal
for his name and then...

884
00:44:34,974 --> 00:44:37,392
- You can stop saying "his."
- What do you mean?

885
00:44:37,443 --> 00:44:40,362
His name.
The source is a woman.

886
00:44:40,396 --> 00:44:42,564
I've spoken to her
in person twice.

887
00:44:42,615 --> 00:44:44,032
I know just as much
about her as you do.

888
00:44:44,067 --> 00:44:46,702
Why are you standing in front
of a judge and not me?

889
00:44:46,736 --> 00:44:48,620
Oh, God.

890
00:44:49,956 --> 00:44:52,240
You can't ever repeat
what you just said.

891
00:44:57,413 --> 00:44:59,331
<i>Mr. McAvoy refused to comply</i>

892
00:44:59,333 --> 00:45:00,999
<i>with an order of this court.</i>

893
00:45:01,001 --> 00:45:04,336
Title 28, Section 1826

894
00:45:04,387 --> 00:45:06,588
of the United States Code
directs this court

895
00:45:06,639 --> 00:45:09,007
to hold a grand jury
witness in contempt

896
00:45:09,009 --> 00:45:13,145
if he refuses the order
and does so without just cause.

897
00:45:13,179 --> 00:45:14,846
We're here today to determine

898
00:45:14,897 --> 00:45:17,349
if the witness
can show just cause.

899
00:45:17,351 --> 00:45:20,068
Miss Halliday,
I'll hear argument for the witness.

900
00:45:20,103 --> 00:45:22,604
Thank you, Your Honor.
And may it please the court.

901
00:45:22,655 --> 00:45:26,241
Mr. McAvoy's cause exists
because he is protected

902
00:45:26,275 --> 00:45:28,493
by a reporter's privilege
to withhold information,

903
00:45:28,528 --> 00:45:32,197
a privilege that's been recognized
by a wide range of courts.

904
00:45:45,211 --> 00:45:47,546
<i>If we were to
apply that test here,</i>

905
00:45:47,548 --> 00:45:50,465
we would find that the information
given by the reporter's source

906
00:45:50,516 --> 00:45:52,184
poses no harm to the public

907
00:45:52,218 --> 00:45:53,552
and we would weigh that

908
00:45:53,603 --> 00:45:55,771
against the newsworthiness
of the US government

909
00:45:55,805 --> 00:45:59,191
swift-boating a foreign
election with disinformation

910
00:45:59,225 --> 00:46:02,394
that got 38 people,
including three Americans, killed.

911
00:46:04,230 --> 00:46:08,066
No one disputes that this is a tragic
story of unintended consequences.

912
00:46:08,117 --> 00:46:10,035
No one intended
for anyone to die

913
00:46:10,069 --> 00:46:12,070
and no one did
anything illegal.

914
00:46:12,105 --> 00:46:15,123
<i>Our intelligence professionals
engage in covert operations</i>

915
00:46:15,158 --> 00:46:18,076
<i>all over the world to keep us safe.
It's their job.</i>

916
00:46:18,127 --> 00:46:21,079
It's how we won World War II.
It's how we won the Cold War.

917
00:46:21,081 --> 00:46:22,748
<i>It's how the Berlin Wall fell</i>

918
00:46:22,799 --> 00:46:26,084
<i>and it's why more buildings
didn't fall on September 12.</i>

919
00:46:26,086 --> 00:46:28,887
But not only can't they do
their jobs if their identities

920
00:46:28,921 --> 00:46:31,139
are revealed by a rogue
government worker,

921
00:46:31,174 --> 00:46:33,725
<i>their lives and the lives
of their families</i>

922
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,560
will be put
at great risk immediately

923
00:46:35,595 --> 00:46:37,262
and perhaps without
even their knowledge.

924
00:46:37,264 --> 00:46:40,398
Judge, when they do their jobs recklessly,
the public has a right to know.

925
00:46:40,433 --> 00:46:43,151
And how does someone who isn't
an experienced professional

926
00:46:43,186 --> 00:46:45,771
in the clandestine
services presume to know

927
00:46:45,822 --> 00:46:47,522
when one of our agents
is doing their job well?

928
00:46:47,573 --> 00:46:51,443
In this case,
we can put a stethoscope on the 38 bodies.

929
00:46:51,445 --> 00:46:54,863
The court is sufficiently convinced
of the news value of this story.

930
00:46:54,947 --> 00:46:57,866
Mr. Lasenthal,
please speak to any harm it poses.

931
00:46:57,950 --> 00:47:00,669
Judge,
someone with a high level of security clearance

932
00:47:00,703 --> 00:47:02,587
has committed an act
of espionage.

933
00:47:02,622 --> 00:47:04,172
That fact is not in dispute.

934
00:47:04,207 --> 00:47:06,124
<i>This person is still
inside the government,</i>

935
00:47:06,175 --> 00:47:08,877
<i>still has access
to classified materials.</i>

936
00:47:08,928 --> 00:47:10,762
This person must be
apprehended.

937
00:47:10,797 --> 00:47:14,099
Law enforcement doesn't know the identity.
Mr. McAvoy does.

938
00:47:14,133 --> 00:47:17,602
And I can't imagine what other
argument the court needs to hear.

939
00:47:20,022 --> 00:47:22,524
Mr. McAvoy.

940
00:47:22,558 --> 00:47:24,476
What do you want me to do?

941
00:47:27,063 --> 00:47:29,231
Your Honor,
if you're leaving it up to me,

942
00:47:29,282 --> 00:47:31,032
I'd just as soon go home.

943
00:47:33,035 --> 00:47:36,538
It's funny, but the first time the
Supreme Court ever supported a claim

944
00:47:36,572 --> 00:47:40,408
of protection under the First
Amendment wasn't until 1919.

945
00:47:40,459 --> 00:47:42,661
<i>The amendment says
Congress shall make no law</i>

946
00:47:42,712 --> 00:47:45,297
abridging freedom of speech
or of the press.

947
00:47:45,331 --> 00:47:47,382
And we went 125 years

948
00:47:47,416 --> 00:47:50,468
without that law protecting
critical expression.

949
00:47:50,503 --> 00:47:53,672
The legislation that
sparked the dissent?

950
00:47:53,674 --> 00:47:55,423
The Espionage Act.

951
00:47:57,260 --> 00:47:59,895
I just thought
that was interesting.

952
00:48:02,181 --> 00:48:04,983
I appreciate the defense
my attorney mounted,

953
00:48:05,017 --> 00:48:07,269
but my heart is with
the prosecutor.

954
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:08,904
I'm sorry, Rebecca, it just is.

955
00:48:08,938 --> 00:48:10,772
It didn't used to be
that so much damage

956
00:48:10,823 --> 00:48:12,607
could be done by so few people.

957
00:48:12,658 --> 00:48:15,393
It just used to be harder.
It took more manpower.

958
00:48:15,428 --> 00:48:18,496
So, for me,
I don't like the cost benefit.

959
00:48:18,531 --> 00:48:22,250
But I can't give you
the name of my source.

960
00:48:22,285 --> 00:48:24,536
I'm just not allowed to,
Your Honor.

961
00:48:24,538 --> 00:48:27,205
It's as simple as that.
I'm not allowed to.

962
00:48:28,174 --> 00:48:29,424
And as Your Honor well knows,

963
00:48:29,458 --> 00:48:31,843
prison time
in a civil contempt case

964
00:48:31,878 --> 00:48:33,595
can't be punitive,
only coercive.

965
00:48:33,629 --> 00:48:37,215
So with that in mind,
I'm telling the government and the court

966
00:48:37,266 --> 00:48:39,551
that there are no number
of prison days

967
00:48:39,602 --> 00:48:43,772
after which I will reveal
my source's identity.

968
00:48:48,060 --> 00:48:52,063
Well, I hate to say this,
but we're just going to have to find out.

969
00:48:52,114 --> 00:48:55,483
Mr. McAvoy,
I find you in contempt of court

970
00:48:55,534 --> 00:48:58,453
and order you to surrender
yourself to the US Marshals

971
00:48:58,487 --> 00:49:01,456
in this building
on this day at 5:00 PM.

972
00:49:01,490 --> 00:49:04,459
Yes, sir.

973
00:49:17,757 --> 00:49:20,308
Hey, you know this is bullshit.

974
00:49:23,095 --> 00:49:24,679
I don't think you
should wait for me.

975
00:49:24,730 --> 00:49:26,181
I think you should forget
about me and move on.

976
00:49:26,232 --> 00:49:28,400
- Okay.
- Listen, remember,

977
00:49:28,434 --> 00:49:31,319
only my conversations
with my lawyer are privileged.

978
00:49:31,354 --> 00:49:33,238
Right?
What we were talking about last night.

979
00:49:33,272 --> 00:49:36,074
- Yeah, or your wife.
- Yeah, but you wanted to be a June bride...

980
00:49:36,108 --> 00:49:37,826
I don't anymore.
I want to get married now.

981
00:49:37,860 --> 00:49:39,945
I think you should have
thought about that... Wait.

982
00:49:39,947 --> 00:49:42,414
- Are you serious?
- I'm more than serious.

983
00:49:42,448 --> 00:49:43,999
We get a waiver
from the mayor's office

984
00:49:44,033 --> 00:49:45,750
and use the chapel
at City Hall.

985
00:49:45,785 --> 00:49:47,869
Honey, we've got 300 people
coming to a wedding

986
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,754
you've been planning
for 25 years.

987
00:49:49,789 --> 00:49:52,374
Remember the seven weeks I
spent picking the invitations?

988
00:49:52,425 --> 00:49:55,627
- I really do.
- Done.

989
00:49:55,678 --> 00:49:58,797
"I'm marrying Will today at 3:30 PM at City Hall..."

990
00:49:58,799 --> 00:50:00,548
"...if you guys
want to come."

991
00:50:00,599 --> 00:50:02,851
- Congratulations!
- Finally!

992
00:50:02,935 --> 00:50:05,020
That... That's what...
I was begging...

993
00:50:05,054 --> 00:50:06,888
for seven weeks
we were looking...

994
00:50:06,939 --> 00:50:09,641
Different cardboard...
Okay.

995
00:50:09,643 --> 00:50:11,609
For that little stunt,
I'm gonna marry your ass off.

996
00:50:11,644 --> 00:50:14,529
Charlie, Don, Gary, Jim, Martin,
we're putting on a wedding.

997
00:50:14,563 --> 00:50:16,781
- This is men's work.
- All right.

998
00:50:16,816 --> 00:50:19,818
- Let's go. City Hall, here we come.
- You finally grew a brain.

999
00:52:49,301 --> 00:52:52,437
- I saw on the news.
- Thanks for seeing me, Phil.

1000
00:52:52,471 --> 00:52:54,305
You really want to spend
your last hours of freedom

1001
00:52:54,356 --> 00:52:56,691
arguing with me about something
that's 2,000 years old?

1002
00:52:56,725 --> 00:52:59,527
No, we can do that another time.
I wanted to ask a favor.

1003
00:52:59,562 --> 00:53:02,397
Mac and I have moved our wedding
up from June to this afternoon.

1004
00:53:02,448 --> 00:53:05,200
MacKenzie, while not being as religious as,
say, you are,

1005
00:53:05,234 --> 00:53:07,819
- she's not a full-on whack job or anything...
- Yeah.

1006
00:53:07,870 --> 00:53:11,489
She is devout and a Catholic
service would mean a lot to her.

1007
00:53:11,524 --> 00:53:13,541
I can do that.
Where are you being married?

1008
00:53:13,576 --> 00:53:15,910
At the chapel at City Hall.

1009
00:53:15,961 --> 00:53:18,830
Catholic service has to be
performed in a Catholic church.

1010
00:53:18,832 --> 00:53:21,633
Doesn't that sound like one of
those rules we've talked about?

1011
00:53:21,667 --> 00:53:25,420
God's omniscient,
but He's only willing to work in certain buildings?

1012
00:53:25,471 --> 00:53:28,423
- That's not...
- Like it's a union thing.

1013
00:53:28,474 --> 00:53:30,175
Fine.

1014
00:53:30,177 --> 00:53:33,394
Thank you.
I'll have a car waiting at 3:15.

1015
00:53:37,566 --> 00:53:38,933
Will.

1016
00:53:38,984 --> 00:53:40,685
You want to pray with me?

1017
00:53:52,164 --> 00:53:54,764
♪ Ave Maria ♪

1018
00:54:06,462 --> 00:54:09,062
♪ Gratia plena... ♪

1019
00:54:14,720 --> 00:54:17,055
You have to make
a grand apology to her.

1020
00:54:17,057 --> 00:54:18,940
- Really grand.
- I know.

1021
00:54:18,974 --> 00:54:22,227
- Canyon grand.
- I know.

1022
00:54:22,278 --> 00:54:25,113
- Where's Professor Ethics?
- We had a fight.

1023
00:54:25,147 --> 00:54:27,782
About what?

1024
00:54:27,816 --> 00:54:29,484
Nothing.

1025
00:54:39,712 --> 00:54:42,914
Rejoice with those who rejoice.

1026
00:54:42,965 --> 00:54:45,750
Weep with those who weep.

1027
00:54:45,752 --> 00:54:47,835
Have the same regard
for one another.

1028
00:54:47,886 --> 00:54:51,222
Do not be haughty,
but associate with the lowly.

1029
00:54:51,257 --> 00:54:54,008
<i>Do not be wise
in your own estimation.</i>

1030
00:54:58,931 --> 00:55:01,933
<i>Do not repay anyone
evil for evil.</i>

1031
00:55:01,984 --> 00:55:04,936
<i>Be concerned for what is noble
in the sight of all.</i>

1032
00:55:04,938 --> 00:55:08,273
If possible, on your part,

1033
00:55:08,275 --> 00:55:10,441
live at peace with all.

1034
00:55:10,492 --> 00:55:13,494
- The word of the Lord.
- Thanks be to God.

1035
00:55:27,509 --> 00:55:30,178
Do you take this man to be
your lawful wedded husband?

1036
00:55:31,714 --> 00:55:33,631
I do.

1037
00:55:33,682 --> 00:55:36,968
<i>Do you take this woman to be
your lawful wedded wife?</i>

1038
00:55:38,437 --> 00:55:40,221
I do.
